I'll bring the lights
You bring the mistletoe
Put up the tree
And turn the lights down low
Might be cold outside but it's warm right here in my arms
Light up the fire
Put on some Nat King Cole
Spin me around
We got nowhere to go
Everybody's talking about sleigh bells, but I'm seeing hearts
You don't need to get me presents
All I want is something money can't buy
Baby, won't you be my Christmas Valentine?
So let it snow
You'll be my cup of tea
Old Charlie Brown
We'll watch him on TV
Santa, take the night off, 'cause Cupid's got it under control
You don't need to get me presents
All I want is something money can't buy
Baby, won't you be my Christmas Valentine?
Ooh ooh ooh freeze time for a minute
Don't want a Christmas if you're not in it
Ooh ooh ooh there's nothing that I'm missing
As long as you're right here with me
You don't need to get me presents
All I want is something money can't buy
Baby, won't you be my Christmas Valentine?
Baby, won't you be my Christmas Valentine?
I'll bring the lights
You bring the mistletoe
Put up the tree
And turn the lights down low
